Ballexserd, N. James

, citizen of Geneva, who
was born in 1726, and died in 1774, is known by a judicious performance, entitled “Ueducation physique des
enfans,” 1762, 8vo, of which M. David, physician at Paris,
gave a second edition in 1780, with annotations. This
dissertation, crowned by the society of sciences at Haerlem in 1762, abounds with excellent observations. The
author begins from the moment of birth, and conducts his
pupils tp the age of puberty. We have likewise of him a
| dissertation of no less importance than the foregoing, on
this question What are the principal causes of the death
of so great a number of children 1775. 1
